   Yes indeed. Epson Premium Glossy Paper.

Given that black wasn't printing, I'm not surprised things look ugly.

   OK. And it occurs that the Cyan channel for this precise picture is
   completely void.

I'll have to try to reproduce that.

   You were partially right: in fact, the black ink was not printing!
   Now I get a much better result, although it'is still too dark and
   too green with regards to what appears on my screen. Is there
   somewhere an explanation about the dialog you get when clicking
   "adjust Output" in the "Output" tab? And why are most of the
   controls grayed out? I suppose it's where I should change something
   in order to get a better result.

Yes, the user's manual explains what each of the controls does.  The
controls that are grayed out have a checkbox next to them that will
enable them.
